Run Wild, Run Free. Mark Lester was in it with his white horse that got stuck in quicksand. John and Hayley Mills as well I think. Very dramatic at the end.

My older brother was so mortified when I cried when Bambi’s mother died that he climbed over the seats and sat three rows behind me.

'The Way We Were' and 'Cinema Paradiso' come to mind.

The Shadow of Your Smile. Liz Taylor and Richard Burton.

Seeing that film was the last time ex DH and I ‘went out’ together. I found out a couple of months later that he was seeing his ex fiancée and divorce followed shortly after.

He contacted me twelve years later and told me that he had ‘made a mistake”. Too late, for I had remarried and had a family but even now, when I hear that song, it can still bring tears to my eyes. So sad....

Reading through the films others have mentioned makes me realise how much weeping I've done over the years. When my children were small “Who Will Love my Children” and “Champ” always pushed me over the edge. I’m less of a full on weeper as I've got older but do well up at all sorts of stuff...like Maggie even adverts have been known to get me going!

Steel Magnolias. I've seen it several times and cry every time. It's the bit where the daughter dies having had a baby which she was advised against.

Fiddler on the Roof

Oops, re my earlier post the film was actually The Sandpiper.
The THEME TUNE was The Shadow of your smile.

Andy Williams made a rather nice recording of the song -
Google... You Tube Andy Williams Shadow of your smile.

Can’t do links, sorry!

Always have said I'm not a fan of Meryl Streep but two of my "weepies" were Bridges of Madison County and Kramer v Kramer. Remember many years ago going with a friend when we were about 13 to watch "Love is a many splendid thing" and remember both of us sobbing into our handkerchiefs and when I told my parents which film we had seen being told "it was not suitable for us"!!

Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet.
My sister and I went to the cinema to see it and everyone was weeping as we left.

Oh and Stepmom with Susan Sarandon . Cried buckets!

The Feed the Birds scene in Mary Poppins used to make me cry when a child. Not overly sure why. But I've been feeding the birds ever since!

The Theory In Everything (life story of Stephen Hawking)
When I was little, Bambi. I was upset for ages.
Ghost.
The old version of Wuthering Heights.
Mrs Minerva. My mums favourite film.
